Excited to see the latest Global InsurTech report from Gallagher Re - and proud to see Bowhead Specialty spotlighting its use of Kalepa’s AI underwriting platform to drive faster, data-informed decisions for brokers and clients. In the words of Steve Feltner, COO at Bowhead Specialty, Kalepa: "Helps us bind more policies more profitably - it's that simple. Our underwriters love it because it helps them zero in on the highest-potential submissions, analyze every risk thoroughly and ultimately win more business." At Kalepa, we stand for AI that works in production - trusted by top-tier insurers to combine speed, precision, and profitable growth at scale.

We’re excited to share that Beyond Risk has chosen Kalepa’s AI underwriting platform to support scalable growth across its MGA portfolio. As submission volumes rise and broker expectations increase, Beyond Risk looked to AI to modernize underwriting workflows, enhance the rating experience, and accelerate profitable growth - without adding headcount. As CEO Blake Wakefield put it, Kalepa gives the company “the intelligence and agility to grow faster and stay ahead in a competitive marketplace.” As one of the most forward-thinking organizations in the industry, Beyond Risk is showing what’s possible when disciplined underwriting meets modern technology. Proud to partner with their team! Full release in the comments.

The E&S market continues to expand - but who will power its next phase of growth? In this clip, Kalepa’s Vahini Patel speaks to Paragon Insurance's Duffy Koller, CPCU, AIC about a challenge that’s becoming impossible to ignore: the widening talent gap. Experienced underwriters are retiring faster than new talent is entering the field - leaving a growing gap in expertise and mentorship. Closing that gap requires more than awareness. It means rethinking how we attract and develop talent - and how technology can help capture and scale the institutional knowledge that already exists across underwriting teams. 💬 What’s one step your organization is taking to build the next generation of underwriting talent?
